Custom Made Thumb Molds
« on: February 11, 2008, 03:23:30 PM »
How many of you use a custom made thumb molded for your balls and how well do they work? I am taking a ball in to Anne Marie Duggan tomorrow that has my favorite thumb hole and she is going to make a mold of it and then try a molded thumb in one of my balls.

My only worry here is getting the lateral part of the hole in the right place in the ball each time as well as having the pitch right.

i USE AND MAKE CUSTOM SLUGS FOR MYSELF WITH THE EXACTACATOR KIT AND WIZARD QUICK PLUG AND LOVE THEM.I CAN MAKE AN OVAL THAT FITS MY THUMB CORRECTLY AND I EVEN MOLD MINE WITH A PIECE OF 1/2" WHT TAPE IN THE FRONT OF THE HOLE.I USE DONKEE MOLDS FROM BACK WHEN DONKEE WAS STILL IN BUSINESS FOR ALL MY CUSTOMERS.THE SLUGS ARE EASIER TO ADJUST THE LITTLE THINGS TO MAKE THEM FEEL JUST RIGHT WITHUOT CUTTING THE BALL.AND WITH THE QUICK PLUG THEY SET UP IN 15 MIN.
